Occasionally forget people genuinely think capitalism is thousands of years old

[sylestial]

One time I was talking about Robin Hood with some coworkers and one guy was like “he was bad because the people he helped learned to expect handouts” and I wanted to be like… okay can you explain how that flawed capitalist propaganda applies to feudalism

[scallioncreamcheesebagel]

reminder that capitalism was literally invented in the 16th century

[tayefeth]

That’s an exaggeration. What was invented in the 16th century was mercantilism. Capitalism really dates for the beginning of the nineteenth century, with the rise of industry and cash crops over artisans and merchants. Vulture capitalism, with the notion that companies have no duties other than generating profit, is even younger.

[antique-scarecrow]

Capitalism is only 200 years old and I have to say, they have not been an impressive 200 years

[downtroddendeity]

I think a lot of this comes from the fact that most people don’t know the formal definition of capitalism. We all know the word, we’ve all seen the jokes, but very few people bother to actually define it unless they’re talking about political theory and philosophy, so it’s easy to end up with the impression that Capitalism = Money Can Be Exchanged For Goods And Services.

Capitalism is the economic system where most of the means of production (i.e. everything people need to have to make the stuff that everyone wants) are owned by private individuals or corporations, who then hire people to provide the labor necessary to produce things, with the intent of selling the output at a profit. It’s the difference between “you’re a carpenter and you make a chair and you sell it” and “you’re Richard Q. Richington who owns a chair factory, and you pay people to sell the chairs you paid other people to make and then all the excess money goes back to you.” There have been Richard Q. Richingtons on and off throughout history, but that being the norm for every single industry is a pretty recent development.

[antiterfbutch]

An alarming amount of people seem to think capitalism = all trade, and I don’t think that’s a coincidence.

if you're teaching someone something like the stoplight system you can make it fun and sexy. explain the premise. green=go, yellow=slow down/can’t take any more of that right now, red=full stop. start touching them. whisper "what's your color?" in their ear. they're going to say green. start groping them. what's your color? pinch their nipples. what's your color? bite their neck. what's your color? start slapping their ass. what's your color? go harder. what's your color? they're gunna become a babbling mess eventually. they're only going to get rewarded when they answer your question, though. if they stop responding to "what's your color?" then stop until they do. it's a silly sexy way to build trust with someone and get them comfortable with safewording.

wait i have a question

to anyone who goes by multiple sets of pronouns and has a preference, what are your thoughts on how you'd prefer ppl to use them? like, is it more of a "percentage use" (e.g. use she/her most of the time but sometimes he/him, etc.) or a "i'd rather you use these but i don't mind those" (e.g. ze/zem and xe/xem are best but they/them is fine) or smth else? if it's the second one, would you prefer ppl only use the ones you like most or still sort of mix it up occasionally? i know it's definitely different for everyone but i'm curious to hear some thoughts

only 62 more frogs until we hit 8,000 species described. the moment we've all been waiting for

[werewolf-transgenderism]

there are an average of about 150 new amphibian species described per year so I remain hopeful that 2026 will be the year of 8,000 frogs

[werewolf-transgenderism]

I do love that somebody tagged tumblr's own frog scientist on this post. chop chop dr scherz, we've got 62 more frogs to discover and you're the only frog scientist any of us knows

[werewolf-transgenderism]

GUYS amphibian species of the world is still at 7,994 species of frog BUT amphibiaweb is at 8,008 species of frog, and do you know who is a co-author on the 8,000th species of frog there???? TUMBLR'S OWN FROG SCIENTIST DR SCHERZ

today’s neopronouns: [REDACTED]/[REDACTEDS] !

[REDACTED] went to the park.

I went with [REDACTED].

[REDACTED] brought [REDACTEDS] frisbee.

At least, I think it was [REDACTEDS].

[REDACTED] threw the frisbee to [REDACTEDSELF].

~~~

extra notes: we had a headmate who used a variation of these that was just [RED]/[REDS]

Was driving with my grandmother and in broken English she says “no eyes… no nose… no face. Don’t trust.” To which I looked around wildly in search of this omen of ill portend.

My next Black History Month request:

Pick one of James Baldwin's works and read it!!! The Fire Next Time is an excellent essay, most of us are familiar with the quote on gay white people from The Last Interview but not the rest of it. If Beale Street Could Talk even has a movie!

I haven't seen people talking about this, but the pilot for The Ebony Witch dropped! the visuals are absolutely beautiful. honestly, it has the same magic as old disney (if disney was brave enough to give us a hot elf who's actually 50 cats in a trenchcoat)

the sound design is a little rough, but that's because of the funding they're working with - if you'd like to lend some support, here's the link!

here's a few screenshots, in case you're not convinced:

one of the funniest conversations I ever had with my ex was when they were still getting used to Celsius and asked me "what's 20 degrees?" and instead of converting it, I said "it's the highest your dad will ever let you set the thermostat and when you say you're cold he tells you to put on another sweater, we're not made of money" and they went "oh, 68"

the fact that this reference was that fucking precise was something they went on to tell people about for years.
